I Walk the Walk to be Great!

This morning I woke up and realized that I want my dreams to come true because I want to be great. Money does not motivate me to fulfill my dreams. Yes, I like nice things. However, I don't envy others because of their material things. I want to fulfill my dreams because I was born to be great. I was born to accept my life as God designed. I'm becoming more aware of my gifts and talents. I'm shining more brightly every day. I regressed at times, but I need to learn from those regressions and keep moving on. We all have things about ourselves that we want to change. But most accept as is, but I cannot do that any longer. That's tearing me away from the person I was born to be.

I know my worth. It's not what Starbucks giving me, but I'm here for the meantime. That's all. There's so much more to my life. I have a million and one ideas that can create a million and one dollars. It's time to put these ideas to action. I've met so many people that can help me. I have to help myself so they can see the potential become a reality. It's only then that everyone will be on my coattails. Haters, I know you're out there. It's ok. I'm motivated by you. I want to prove you wrong, for I know my way is right. It's my God-given right. I'm not a malicious person. I want you to get yours, too. If you have your own, you're not looking at what I have.

We are in a capitalistic society that reveres money. I revere greatness in the form of the ability to change as in Jay-Z, transcending greatness through intelligence and charisma such as Barack Obama, or loving oneself without limits such as India.Arie. Jay-Z left the game of hustling (drug-dealing) behind to become one of the greatest MCs and businessmen in hip-hop. Barack Obama brought people together in a time when uncertainty and fear reigned in our country. India.Arie has remained true herself despite the popular perception of beauty. She transcended beauty to include 'strength, courage and wisdom.' These are celebrities that I admired for their inner strength not their money, clothes, houses or cars.

Now I wake up and realize that I can do it, too. I can transform my life to anything I want it to be with persistence and strength. I can do this. This is my time. I walk the walk to be great.
